Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your misfortune for later review. scOS transforms your security into an active deterrent using MotionX technology, which distinguishes between 'important activity'—like a person lurking near your outbuildings—and irrelevant motion like swaying trees or foxes. Unlike standard systems that rely on easily bypassed motion masks, scOS automatically understands your property boundaries. It doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automated lighting and voice warnings the moment a genuine threat is detected, ensuring you aren't just documenting a crime, but preventing one entirely.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can turn your existing 'dumb' cameras into a sophisticated AI network. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes just 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our advanced MotionX and vehicle recognition layers without the need for a total system overhaul.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-tier deterrent strategy. Firstly, Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied by mimicking natural human activity patterns inside, which is the most effective way to discourage 'casing.' Secondly, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious behaviour at your property boundary, even if the intruder is wearing a mask or hood. Finally, if a threat is confirmed, the system initiates an escalating response: instant illumination followed by clear, authoritative warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive approach stops criminals long before they reach your front door.

We take a 'privacy-first' approach to your security. Your data is processed locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub before being securely escalated to our UK-based data centres. We are 100% UK-owned and operated, ensuring full GDPR compliance and that your private footage never leaves the country. Unlike many smart home brands, scOS will never sell your data to third parties. You retain total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you someone is already at your door, which is often too late. scOS provides comprehensive property intelligence that covers your entire perimeter, including driveways and gardens. While a doorbell might capture a package thief in the act, scOS uses proactive AI to detect and deter an intruder the moment they step onto your land. It’s the difference between having a doorbell and having a virtual security guard who never sleeps.

Pen-y-fai's proximity to the M4 makes it accessible for transient crime. scOS uses DVLA-linked vehicle recognition to monitor every car that enters your property. By checking registrations against the national database, the system can instantly flag suspicious vehicles or cloned plates, providing an essential early warning system for residents living near major transport routes.

For those working at the Princess of Wales Hospital or commuting via the M4, Presence Simulation is vital. It mimics your home's natural activity patterns, making it look occupied even during irregular shift patterns. This is a powerful deterrent against burglars who monitor homes for predictable vacancy, ensuring your Pen-y-fai property remains protected while you're at work.

MotionX is designed to be highly accurate in all environments. It ignores the movement of trees, pets, and local wildlife, focusing only on 'important activity' like a person approaching your home. This means you won't be bothered by false alarms, but you will be alerted the moment a genuine threat is detected at your property boundary, providing reliable security you can trust.
